Prices in euros, excluding VAT
Two ways to work with me, both priced here. Each number comes with what it buys, what it leaves out, and the sum that checks whether the work earns its cost back.
Stop at the end of week one and I refund it in full.
SprintOne-off
A launch, a new site, a brand, a product. One scope, one price, a finish line.
from€8,000fixed
1–10 weeks from start to finish line, by scopeSee every scope
That’s a landing page. Seven more scopes are in the table, each with its own price.
MarathonRetainer
For teams that ship all the time. Design and code every month, from the same person.
from€7,500a month
A drop every week, until you stop. Pause for up to 45 daysWhat a month covers
A month is four weekly drops. No minimum term.
Every project starts here
Fixed feeFive working days
Week one
€3,000counts toward your project
Refundable
If you stop on day fiveWeek one is a product of its own: five working days for a fixed €3,000, counted toward the project. You get the scope in writing, real screens and a live link. Then you decide.
Day 1
The one-page scope you agreed after our call, turned into the week’s plan: what’s in, what’s out, the fixed price we settled and the dates. If a detail is off, we fix it before I draw anything.
Day 2
I design the part that matters most: the first screen of your site, the main flow of your product, the first directions for your mark. Your real words, no slide deck.
Day 3
Those screens, built, on a private link. Open it on your phone. Forward it to whoever signs off the spend.
Day 4
You say what’s off, on a call or in comments. I change it and the link updates.
Day 5
Carry on, and the fee counts toward the project. Stop, and I refund it in full.
I read sixteen studios’ sites before pricing this. None of them refunds the first week of a project.
Every scope
One page, designed, coded and live
Custom illustration or animation, and integrations beyond one form.
Up to about 6 pages, with a CMS and a handover
Pages past six, how much copy needs writing, and integrations such as a CRM or a booking system.
Your site moved to a modern stack, every URL kept or redirected
How many URLs and templates there are, and how tangled the old CMS is.
Logo, type, colour, guidelines and an asset kit
Naming, sub-brands, and how many things need the brand applied to them.
One workflow off spreadsheets, built around how your team works
The number of roles, the integrations, and how messy the existing data is.
Designed and built, with the code in your repository
How many core flows there are, the integrations, and anything regulated.
The brand identity and the website, in one go
The same things as its two halves: pages, copy, and how far the brand has to stretch.
iOS and Android from one codebase, in the stores
Offline use, device features such as camera, push and payments, and a backend if you don’t have one.
Week 0 is the day work starts. The ruler runs to week 10. Prices excl. VAT. Rows you tick are added up on your estimate.
Guarantees
The price on the quote is the price. If I underestimated, that is my cost.
The fear it answersA scope that explodes halfway through, and an invoice that grows with it.
You pay per stage and can stop after any stage.
The fear it answersBeing months and thousands in, with nothing you can use and no way out.
Week one is a fixed fee of €3,000, counted toward the project. Stop at the end of it and I refund it in full.
The fear it answersHiring someone who turns out to be better at pitching than at the work.
Changes inside the agreed scope of a stage are included until you sign it off.
The fear it answersA change order, and a wait, for every small thing you want different.
And two plain ones, no stamp needed
The arithmetic
Divide the price by what one new client leaves you. Here it is for a website, with an example client.
€16,000Website, from÷€4,000One client, an example=4New clients
Four new clients and it has paid for itself. Every one after that is the return.
Your number, my division. A sum, not a forecast.
Other ways to get it made
| Who makes it | Time | Cost | Who does the work | What you own | The right choice when |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| An agency | 3–8 weeks where the studio publishes it1. Buyers plan for 3–4 months2. | $15,000–$30,000 where it’s published1. Founders report quotes of $50k and up3. | A team. Often not the person who sold it to you. | Usually everything, once the final invoice is paid1. | The job needs ten people at once: a rebrand across markets, a campaign with a hard date. |
| A designer plus a developer | Two calendars. One buyer waited three weeks between the mockups and the build2. | 40–60% less than an agency, on paper4. | Two people. You manage the handoff between them. | Whatever the two contracts say. | You have someone in-house to run the project, and the date can move. |
| A hire | Months to find. After that, full time. | A salary every month, launch or no launch. | One person on your payroll. Rarely a designer and an engineer in one. | Everything. They work for you. | The work is permanent and it is the product. Then hire. |
| An AI builder | An afternoon to a first version. | A subscription, and your own evenings. | You, prompting. | Whatever the tool lets you export. | The idea isn’t proven yet. Start there. Come back when it has to sell. |
| Me | 3–5 weeks for a website. | From €16,000, fixed in writing before I start. | Me. The person on the call designs it and builds it. | What you’ve paid for. From week two the repository, domain and accounts are in your name. | It has to earn its cost back, and you want one person answerable for that. |
The retainer
from€7,500a month
For teams with more to ship than one project holds. Same person, same standards, a drop every week.
Four drops, then the next month, or a pause of up to 45 days.
Payment
The example: a website at its starting price of €16,000, paid in four parts. The first is week one, and it is the one you can get back.
Fit
Saying it here saves us both a call.
Not a fit
No hard feelingsProjects under €8k. The smallest thing I take on is one landing page, done properly.
Work billed by the hour. You’d be buying my time. I’d rather sell you the result at a price that can’t move.
“Make it prettier.” If nothing has to change in your numbers, keep the money.
A free pitch. Week one is the pitch. It’s paid, and it’s refundable.
A third project. I run two at a time. If both desks are taken, I’ll tell you when one frees up.

Questions
Ask me. I read every message myself, and the call takes twenty minutes.
Because a landing page and an app are different jobs. €8k is where a fixed project starts, and every scope has its own starting price in the table. On the call we pin down yours. After it you get it in writing with one fixed price, before you pay anything.
I refund the €3,000 in full. You don’t owe me a reason. What I made that week stays with me.
Then I got it wrong, and that is my cost. The price on the quote is the price. If you want something new that wasn’t in the scope, I quote it separately before I start on it.
If your idea isn’t proven yet, it can, and you should let it. What you pay me for is the judgment about what to build, the hundred decisions a tool gets almost right, and a fixed price, and dates in writing.
Running costs: hosting, domains, paid fonts, stock, third-party services. They sit in your accounts and you pay them directly, so nothing depends on me staying around.
Yes and yes. An NDA if you need it. What you’ve paid for is yours, and from week two the repository, domain and accounts are in your name. No licensing surprises.
Usually within a week of our call, sometimes sooner if the timing lines up. I run two projects at a time, so if both desks are taken I’ll give you a date.
Yes, for up to 45 days. Launches move, and the plan moves with them.
I plan the work so you don’t pay for empty space. If a month is lighter, I move priorities around, batch what’s ready, or roll work into the next week when that makes sense.
Yes. Everything on this page is in euros, excluding VAT.
